Messoria Dorimant (Judith)

Messoria Dorimant

The Dorimant family has its roots in old Nerath, and though not noble themselves, they have often been close to the seat of power as generals or warlords.  Around the time of the downfall of Nerath, the great Warlord Kerne Dorimant treated with a powerful Pit Fiend devil, seeking power and even immortality.  Amused by Kerne’s reckless temerity, the Fiend granted his request and turned him into a Malebranche war devil.  As part of the deal, Kerne’s descendants became Tieflings, and it was one of these descendants, a paladin of Sehanine, who years later finally destroyed Kerne.  

The Dorimants have often been in the forefront of crusades against evil: the Invoker Arean Dorimant was one of the heroes who recovered a dark artefact from a far off land and brought it to Gardmore Abbey for safekeeping.  Although a follower of Sehanine he fought and died alongside the Paladins of Bahamut when the Abbey was attacked by evil.  Other followers of Sehanine known as the Order of the Silver Falcon tried to reach them but were killed in the attempt.

Messoria is Arean’s granddaughter.  Her father Kallain was once Master at Arms to the late Lord Markelhay, Lord Faren’s father, while her human mother Meryn Dorimant had for long years been leader (Commander) of a small band of the Silver Falcon in the fighting far to the south, though since last year there has been no word from her.  Since the Battle of Gardbury Downs, Kallain no longer rides out on quest, instead choosing to remain in Fallcrest to defend the town and support its Lord.

Now she has come of age, Messoria spends a lot of her time training and speaking with the priest of Sehanine, Ressilmae Starlight, preparing for the time that she can follow the family tradition to fight against the dark.  Messoria has followed in her mother’s footsteps pinning on the Silver Falcon badge.
